BC pill and copper IUD

Has anyone been on the progesterone-only birth control pill or had the copper IUD? What was your experience like? I’m 32 yrs old, tried the combo/generic version of Loestrin Fe 1/20 for 2 months, and it made me suicidal so I stopped taking it.

Anyone else feel like they drive their own OB appointments?

Maybe it’s just NYC where it’s always go go go and people (especially doctors) are not talkative, but I feel like I’m driving everything. If it wasn’t for my questions, the appointment would be over in 10 seconds. I thought I’d be guided more, and told what to do proactively. Instead, I feel like I’m always guiding ...
